Parity-Violating Moller Scattering

Precision measurements of electroweak observables at Q(2) << M(Z)(2) complement high energy collider experiments in order to comprehensively search for new dynamics at the TeV scale. Parity-violating electron scattering is one promising technique that has demonstrated the potential to achieve sufficient precision, and which has unique sensitivity to TeV scale dynamics. In particular, we discuss parity-violating electron-electron (Moller scattering). After reviewing the completed SLAC E158 experiment, we discuss a new project to improve on the SLAC measurement by a factor of 5 using the upgraded 12 GeV beam at Jefferson Laboratory, allowing a measurement of the weak mixing angle sin(2) theta(W) with comparable precision to the single best measurement at e(+)e(-) colliders, and thus accessing the contact interaction scale A(ee) similar to 25 TeV.
